...first insane, then inspired. The notion of bodies at rest becoming souls at peace is reactionary, radical and liberating. If it cures nagging backache, swell. But isn't it bliss just to sit this one out, to freeze-frame the frenzy, to say no to all that and om to what may be beyond it, or within ourselves...
Komitor's students at Next Generation Yoga will become sleeping doggies, lions and snakes before the 45-minute session is over. They will walk on their hands and feet with their butts in the air, balance on one leg and sit chanting, "Om." Similar menageries are sprouting up across the country.

Every day, I need that hour of silence where I do Ashtanga Yoga in my Maharishi pants and I chant "Om" into the silence of my darkened dorm room. When I'm doing promotional tours and junkets in Asia, it really gets out of control. The States aren't such a zoo, but I get no privacy here either.
